Adult sex aids and vestments

Pornography (Ancient Greek, noun: πόρνηγράφεινία [pornēgrapheinia]; euphemisms: Adult/Mature work/media, colloquialisms: Porno or Porn), also known as Pron/Pr0n or P0rn, is a term commonly used to describe sexually explicit imagery in artwork, photography, film, and writing.

Pornography featuring furry characters may be called furry porn, furry adult art, and/or yiff art. Another common term is Furotica, a portmanteaufurspeech term of the words furry and erotica.

A wide variety of free online furry art and writing archives offer the option to upload and display pornographic art and stories to the public, such as Fur Affinity, Inkbunny, SoFurry, Weasyl, VCL. Most furry pay-sites are exclusively catered to such media.

Often, members of the fandom and critics alike speculate that adult content makes up the majority of the fandom.[citation needed] The opposite point of view, voiced particularly in the 2 Sense shows, claims that this is caused by the cognitive bias: since pornography is not tabooed in the furry community, its relative percentage may be even smaller than in the mundane world, but the fact that it gets more exposure makes it appear to be a larger chunk.[citation needed]

No scientifically credible estimates of the exact ratio of pornographic content to family friendly content in the furry community exist to date. A rough estimate from conventions which allow adult content in such activities as art shows and charity auctions and auction sites such as FurBid-SF suggest a proportion of 25-40%, with a higher proportion of mature publications and 2D artwork than sculpture and other constructed art.[citation needed]

There are no mainstream laws[2] which specifically reference pornography containing anthropomorphic characters at this time, be it characters of adult or minor (cub) age. Furry websites, forums, groups and publications may enact them independently within the fandom.[3]

Furry pornography commonly depicts species popular among the furry fandom, as many furry porn artists enjoy depicting their own personal fursonas in sexual activity,[citation needed] either with a fantasy mate or the fursona of a person to whom they are attracted in real life. Some pornographic artists draw generic characters as well, though these are usually species chosen for their sexual characteristics or stereotyped promiscuity, such as foxes, wolves, and horses.[clarify][citation needed]

Transformation, in which humans turn into animals or furries transform into a different type of furry, is also popular in furry porn and regular furry art alike. Mental control or transformation permanence may be established through orgasm.[5][6][7]

Most of these fetishes are not specific to the furry fandom, but merely furry expressions of them. While fetish porn is frequently attested to be unusually common in furry fandom — one of the complaints of the former criticBurned Furs was its perceived popularity[clarify][citation needed] — it is, again, impossible to obtain a precise percentage of fetish pornography compared to other forms of furry pornography.

Furry erotica is not thought well of by some outside the fandom itself. In The Geek Hierarchy, Erotic Furries (sic) are ranked just below Furries as a whole, and just above "Star Trekfanfic, written as furry erotica, with Kirk as an ocelot (or something), and the author being the star and his own personal furry as well."[citation needed]
